Soft Tissue Found Inside a Dinosaur Bone!

In 2003, an exceptionally well preserved T. rex leg bone was unearthed in the Cretaceous rocks of Montana. Upon close examination, Dr. Mary Schweitzer found the bone to contain soft tissue inside - tiny blood vessels and proteins! Some claim that this is evidence of a young Earth, a recent extinction of the dinosaurs. Could this be, or is there another explanation? ============= Update: since writing the script for this video, a study came out further questioning that the tissue found belongs to the original T. rex, suggesting again that it is biofilm: http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.or... Even more recently, a study published in Nature came out further confirming that the tissue did belong to T. rex and detailed, with much greater clarity than before, how the preservation happens: https://www.nature.com/articles/s4159... In short, scientific consensus is no longer as strong as suggested in this animation, the boat was rocked again, but it looks like it's on its way to being settled once again on the position that the soft tissue is indeed from the original T. rex. ============= ======== Support us on Patreon:   / statedclearly   Get a T. rex t-shirt: https://www.redbubble.com/people/stat...
